VLT Soft Starter MCD 3000

VLT Soft Starter MCD 3000 is a total motor starting solution.

Current transformers measure the motor current and provide
feedback for controlled motor voltage ramp up, but also for
numerous motor protection functions.
A numeric display and logic keypad
buttons makes programming easy
and operational status such as motor
current is shown via the display.

The perfect solution, also for more

severe applications:
Pumps
Conveyors
Fans
Mixers
Compressors
Centrifuge
Mill
Saw
And many more
Power range
7.5 800 kW
Versions for 200690 VAC

The VLT Soft Starter MCD 3000 is

wall mountable, however a Remote
Operator module allows for remote
control and motor performance
monitoring, making it ideal for panel
installation.

Features

Benets

Current ratings for normal and

heavy starting

Fits the most severe applications

Current limit soft start with initial

current ramp up

Limiting the current the motor can

draw during start

DC brake function

Fast stop of heavy inertia applications

Internal delta wiring kit

The soft starter carries only phase current,

and can therefore control a motor with
greater full load current

Reliable

Maximum up-time

Numerous motor protection features

Maintenance free

Password protection of parameters

Prevents unauthorized changes

Max. ambient temperature 50C

without derating

No external cooling or oversizing necessary

User-friendly

Save commissioning
and operating cost

Four dierent auto-adjustable

ramp down proles

Reduced assembly time

Less installation cost

Built-in local control panel with display

Easy to operate
